Background analysis


Otsu

Results (optimal threshold = 0.0510)


Sobel

ROC space

Sensitivity/Specificity against threshold

In this case (comparing with the other 2 images) we can say that the sensitivity and specificity change drastically if we vary the threshold from 0 to 10 and again from 20 to 60.

Canny

Here the behaviour of Canny is almost exactly the same as for 9343 AM and 10905 JL.

ROC space

See report for information on why Canny performed "badly". Even between sigma (0, 1] the sensitivity is under 0.40

Results (1, 15 and 20 iterations)

ROC space

CAD applied on 43590 AM performed worse than CAD applied on 9343 AM and 10905 JL. This happens when we have a low contrast image plus a non uniform illumination across the whole image (in this example border cells are very dark). Therefore border cells are removed when increasing the number of iterations which then results in lower sensitivity values.

Dilate-Erode method

For explanations please see the attached report.

ROC space

Sensitivity/Specificity against threshold

Here sensitivity and specificity change drastically for the reasons explained above (i.e. the nature of the given image).

It can be noted that LoG did not perform very well with this image.
